Dagger Contour Hip Pads

Yes, while they are designed for the Dagger Contour CFS outfitting system, they are compatible with P&H and Venture kayaks as well. Because they use a hook-and-loop backing, they can often be retrofitted into other cockpits, provided there is a compatible surface for the adhesive or existing Velcro.

Each pad features a dedicated internal pocket designed to hold shims. You can add or remove foam shims within this pocket to adjust the thickness and tightness of the pad against your hips, allowing you to dial in the level of contact and control you prefer.

The strap and super lock mechanism provide a secondary layer of security beyond the standard Velcro backing. This ensures the pads remain firmly in place even during aggressive maneuvering or when you are rolling your kayak in turbulent white water.

While these pads are engineered for the demands of white water kayaking, they are excellent for any paddler looking to improve boat control. If you find your hips sliding around in your current cockpit, these pads will provide the stability needed for better edging and bracing in any style of kayak.

The pads include the pocket system for customization, but you may need to source your own foam shims if you require a specific thickness beyond the base pad profile. Most paddlers use standard closed-cell foam sheets, which can be easily cut to size and inserted into the pocket.
